A.3 RISK ASSESSMENT
This section contains a hazard profile and vulnerability assessment for those hazards that were rated with a higher priority for the unincorporated areas than for Wake County as a whole. Risk and vulnerability findings are also presented here for those hazards that are spatially defined and have variations in risk that could be evaluated quantitatively on a jurisdictional level. The hazards included in this section are: Dam Failure, Flood and Wildfire. A.3.1 Dam Failure Table A.11 lists all high hazard dams identified by the North Carolina Dam Inventory as of July 2018. Dam locations in relation to unincorporated Wake County are shown in Figure A.3.
